Fifteen people were indicted by a federal grand jury relating to charges of conspiracy to distribute crack and powder cocaine in Midland, Bay City and Saginaw.

The indictment also alleges specific crack and powder cocaine distributions, along with possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine.

“Crack continues to threaten the vitality and safety of the most marginalized members of our society and undermines the health of many neighborhoods,” U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg said. “(Monday’s) indictment is an attempt to dismantle an organization that is alleged to distribute significant amounts of both crack and powder cocaine. It is a good example of what can be accomplished through local, state and federal law enforcement cooperation.”

The indictments are the result of a joint FBI and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigation targeting members of the “Marshall Organization.”
